Chapter 135

"Buzz—"

In the dueling space, a faint humming sound spread slowly, a vague aura followed, permeating and quickly filling the entire space.

In an instant, the vast and mighty blood-slaughter qi surged like raging waves, its fierce momentum seeming to envelop everyone.

Qin Yu saw this scene, the corner of his mouth twitching involuntarily. He thought to himself, This Bi Xue Mu… is really too unlucky? It actually reflected the self of the Dao stage. In that case, what suspense is left in this fight?

The Immortal Sect Leader looked on with some schadenfreude; in his view, if Bi Xue Mu fell, his chances in this trial would increase somewhat. If he could thereby obtain the Heavenly God inheritance, his potential would surely be limitlessly enhanced, even hoping to strike at the legendary Saint Realm!

"Who is secretly meddling!" Bi Xue Mu angrily growled low, its blood-slaughter qi swirling like clouds and mist around it. The fury in its heart threatened to consume it; for this opportunity, it had waited tens of thousands of years, full of hope to leave the Heavenly God Forbidden Zone via this and return to the myriad worlds. But now… things have turned out like this! It is full of resentment, feeling like a duck about to be eaten that suddenly flies away.

However, in this extreme anger and resentment, Bi Xue Mu still crushed its last lifesaving talisman. Without the slightest hesitation, it immediately sent its soul will back.

"Buzz!"

In midair, the already condensed humanoid Dao-stage Bi Xue Mu instantly launched a fierce attack. Seeing it thrust out a palm that boomed, the whole heaven and earth trembled violently. Endless spiritual qi, as if driven by some mighty power, surged like mountains overturning seas, its momentum seeming to shatter the void, ripples constantly spreading in the void.

At this moment, the three major powers outside and many heaven's pride witnessed the scene, all deeply shaken. They couldn't help but lament, Bi Xue Mu is too tragic; originally it had a chance to enter the third level, but now it seems it can only face annihilation.

Only the members of the Blood Spirit clan saw that their chief was using a divine ability, sending his soul will out. In an instant, they all rushed toward Bi Qing Mu, each wary, tightly guarding the chief's return.

Bi Qing Mu revealed a ferocious cold smile at this moment.

"Back then you snatched my opportunity and achieved the Dao stage; now… it's time for you to repay."

"Boom!"

Bi Qing Mu fiercely crushed the fruit in his hand that was filled with blood-slaughter qi. Instantly, a strong bloody smell spread quickly, within it flickering traces of divine radiance, which Bi Qing Mu absorbed on the spot.

"Second chief…… what are you doing?!" a Heaven-stage Blood Spirit exclaimed in shock and anger, unable to help shouting.

Numerous other Heaven-stage Blood Spirits, seeing this, all wanted to act, trying to rescue the chief's soul will, but it was already too late.

As that divine radiance merged into its body, Bi Qing Mu's internal aura underwent an obvious change; the Dao essence containing great power also entered its body. Although worldly restrictions now made a breakthrough difficult, vibrant life force slowly spread within, able to extend its lifespan.

This action was equivalent to directly seizing the Dao fruit. Moreover, since they share the same origin, Bi Qing Mu can inherit ninety percent of the power.

"Older brother…… I usually treat you well, why……" the wisp of Bi Xue Mu's soul that had just returned was instantly crushed by Bi Qing Mu on the spot, turning into a wisp of resentment drifting in the air, emitting angry reproaches.

However, the response was merely a giant palm, pressing down like a small mountain, directly crushing it laterally.

"Hmph, back then you took advantage of my deviation into demonic cultivation to seize my opportunity; how could I not know these things?"

"Moreover, back then you also dragged me into the Blood Spirit faction; this debt…… will be settled together today!"

Bi Qing Mu's inner anger surged like a volcanic eruption. It was originally an unparalleled prodigy of the Heaven Wood clan, as a key cultivator heir, having cultivated all the way to the Heaven stage. But later, Bi Xue Mu led it astray, involving it in slaughter, causing its cultivation method to completely deviate from the orthodox path, nearly cutting off its future. Given its talent, had it not encountered these changes, entering the Dao stage and becoming the Heaven Wood clan chief would have been a certainty, and in the Medicine Spirit clan it would surely have held a lofty position. However, Bi Xue Mu, having fallen into the abyss itself, harbored resentment and likewise dragged the equally extraordinarily talented Bi Qing Mu down with it.

"Now that I wield the might of the Dao stage again, in the future… I also have a chance to rebuild the medicine root."

"From now on, I will open a great slaughter to atone for these years' mistakes."

At this moment, Bi Qing Mu wore a green robe; its originally aged visage gradually became youthful, Dao essence twining like silk threads around it, appearing transcendent and extraordinary, with an exceptional bearing.

Without a word, it directly struck at the nearby Heaven-stage Medicine Spirit, its means extremely ruthless. Seeing its true form instantly transform into a towering ancient tree, continually expanding, countless verdant branches shot out like arrows, easily piercing the void and wildly attacking in all directions. With the power of a single tree, it directly launched a suppression of numerous Blood Spirits.

It had resolved to use the lives of these Blood Spirits to repay the living beings that had died because of it.

"Kill!"

Bi Qing Mu wasted no words; upon acting, it gave its all. As a peak of the Transform Spirit realm, it directly mobilized Dao domain power. In an instant, several Blood Spirits didn't even have time to react before collapsing on the spot, body and dao destroyed.

At this moment, the Heaven Feather clan was completely bewildered by the sudden turn of events, utterly unaware of what had happened.

"Bi Qing Mu wants to rebuild the medicine root; we'll lend it a hand and clear the Blood Spirits!" Tuoba Prince instantly grasped the situation and loudly spoke up.

Over the years, the Heaven Feather clan has been oppressed by the Blood Spirit clan, their resentment growing like a snowball. As long as the Blood Spirit clan is eliminated, their strength will greatly increase, at which point they will be able to oppose the Heaven Feather clan. Of course, the premise is waiting for the young master to emerge successfully from the trial.

Qing Xuan Zi and the others naturally understood the reasoning, immediately bringing over twenty heaven's pride and joining the great battle without hesitation.

Xiao Xiao seeing this, without extra words, likewise exerted full force; her attack made the figures of several Blood Spirits illusory, as if they might vanish at any moment.

Dongyu Goddess at this moment also no longer concealed her strength, vigorously joining the battle. She knew clearly that she must henceforth forge good ties with the Profound Yang Sect; as for becoming a dao companion…… she was self-aware, deeply knowing that given this young master's excellence, she simply was not worthy.

As for Yusheng, Dongfang Ling, Zhangwu and the like, they quickly formed a battle array, cooperating with the two Transform Spirit peak experts cultivated by the Floating Light Sect using vast resources, continually acting and successfully entangling several Blood Spirits.

With the addition of these living forces, in just a moment the remaining thirty-plus Blood Spirits were all wiped out. Their true forms transformed into great medicine, retaining no spiritual fluctuations, all will thoroughly erased.

Bi Qing Mu's figure became increasingly solid; it slightly bowed, saying to everyone: "Thanks to all of you for lending a hand, together we cleared the Blood Spirits."

"The true forms of these fallen Blood Spirits can be taken directly by you, fellow human cultivators."

As soon as the words fell, its roots began to change; the originally blue-red interwoven hue, containing much resentment, now grew ever deeper green. After all, these resentments were accumulated over years of slaughter; to dispel the initial resentment and resolve karma, one must perform tens, hundreds, or even thousands of good deeds. Thus, for it, to free itself from the Blood Spirit clan's influence and return to the orthodox path still has a long way to go.

Having said that, Bi Qing Mu headed toward the direction of Wind Forest Fire Mountain, intending to break through the remaining three levels and exit the Heavenly God Forbidden Zone.

Qing Xuan Zi and the others gathered all the spoils together; ultimately Tuoba Prince decided to wait for the young master to emerge before discussing distribution. Moreover, they continually soothed the human cultivators under the Blood Spirit contract; these cultivators numbered nearly fifty, each a talented individual not weak in strength, the weakest among them possessing Earth stage cultivation. However, a large portion of them were not cultivators of the Cangyuan Realm.

"You have already witnessed the young master's methods earlier; you only need to wait for him to come out, and then you will be able to completely free yourselves from the blood contract's restraint."

"Now, everyone wait peacefully; do not act rashly." Tuoba Prince's words carried a hint of threat; he hoped these people could see the current situation clearly, not make mistaken choices that would ruin their prospects.

Everyone nodded in agreement, after all, if they could not free themselves from the blood contract, in the future upon encountering the Blood Spirit clan they would be controlled—undoubtedly a great frustration. Moreover, this blood contract is like a shackle, restricting their cultivation and affecting their dao heart.

"Many thanks, Dao brother; we will naturally continue waiting for Young Master Qin."

Having said that, Tuoba Prince emanated a strong aura, successfully intimidating the Heaven Feather clan members who harbored greed and intended to act to seize the non-sentient great medicine. Although they were greedy, facing so many human cultivators, they ultimately suppressed their inner impulses, daring not to act rashly, lest they provoke a great war and lose their lives here.
